Pretty much.

As far as libffi is concerned, you could try an older version of glib 
(earlier than April, 2011, or thereabouts) that doesn't have that 
dependency.  FWIW, you're not alone in your frustration...a lot of us 
ophidiophobes were royally POd about that.

The mandatory gettext dependency is also just plain obnoxious if you don't 
require NLS.  Unfortunately, short of providing a dummy libintl, I'm not 
sure what can be done about it.  The good news is that, if you only want 
English, you can safely throw away the locale files.

Just for kicks, I built a static version of glib-2.16.5 (the newest "old" 
version I had at hand) and was able to build a functional fluidsynth with 
no special dependencies (well, except for gettext and iconv, which are 
built into glibc).

It can be done.  Fairly easily.  Under linux.  Which may or may not be 
of any relevance whatsoever.

The threads error is a real mystery.  What do you get when you run "otool 
-L" on fluidsynth versus your app?
